You just can't beat the colors of fall, it really is my favorite time of year. With the maple tree gleaming with color, I just can't help but follow suit with a rustic but casual dinner table.

Combining my favorite fall colors, russet reds, bittersweet orange, and spicy yellow, this plaid/check tablecloth is my starting point (I really will use plaid anywhere ;). I usually don't ever buy the matching napkins to a tablecloth, I like mixing patterns, like this leafy napkin, for example.

For the centerpiece, simple....pine cones and candles. I have a pretty good medley of pine cones and nearly all I have stockpiled as a centerpiece. I placed the varied types and heights of the candle holders in and around them

I have used my Walmart leaf chargers a lot lately, they really are great looking, a simple stoneware plate, leaf bread plates, and my Mom's silverware finish off the place settings

I think I've told you the story of these pine cones, when Keegan was little he helped me pick up a slew of them....( just like Logan helped me pick up Magnolia leaves the other day) they are huge and are all the way from NC, boy I miss my Carolina pines.

I've had these leaf plates for many years now, I've got them in red and this yellow, I've used them many times.

Simple clear glassware

Here is the red leaf plate.

Very soon all the leaves will be gone from the trees and winter will be here before we know it.I can't believe another year has nearly passed.

Thank you for stopping by, hopefully you can draw some inspiration for your Thanksgiving dinner!Next week I have a very special table dedicated to my Mother, be sure to follow along!

beautiful as always...wish we had fall color here in my neck of the woods in Texas...oh well, one of these days I plan to take a vacation to do one of those 'fall leaf tours' I am totally envious of your pinecones lol...you really are the cats meow!

Hello, I found your blog by way of Every day with Peggy! I love your fall tablescape! So beautiful! I really like the leaf plates..they really add to the setting. I think my favorite photo of this post is the last one...love it!
